Plane: Gerard Butler Appears Once Again in his Power-Pack Action Avatar

Gerard Butler has come with a new action thriller Plane. The film has revealed a partnership forged in the most unlikely of circumstances. The story of the film is set to follow pilot Brodie Torrance as he battles to protect the passengers of his aircraft, as landed on a war-torn island after being struck by lightning. 

The new trailer starts with Louis Gaspare introduced to Torrance as an accused murderer who has been transported by the FBI on the plane. However, Gaspare and Torrance will later work together to save the passengers who had taken the hostage on the war-torn island that was supposed to be their means of survival after the risky landing. 

The power-pack action thriller comes from the little snippets revealed in the trailer, and it is no surprise that a project like this attracted Butler in the leading role. Butler is known for taking on action movies, notably for his role as Leonidas, the Spartan warrior King in Zack Synder’s blockbuster 300. He has followed up 300 by taking those action roles in the film like Den of Thieves as Nicholas O’Brien, Law Abiding Citizen as Clyde Alexander, Machine Gun Preacher as Sam Childers, Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, and Angel Has Fallen as Mike Banning. 

In the last interview, Butler said he always liked action films with “ordinary” heroes instead of superheroes. He noted that action movies made him feel cool and badass. He said the movies always made him feel brave, and it made him want to be the hero he saw on screen. 

“I’ve always been into the hero’s journey but without necessarily having to be the most amazing warrior – we’re all on a hero’s journey.”

The film also features Yoson as Officer Dele, Daniella Pineda as Bonnie, Paul Ben-Victor as Hampton, Joey Slotnick as Sinclair, and Remi Adele as Shellback.
